Literature in Israel gets a jolt with a modern potboiler set in a seedy Tel Aviv nightclub. And our American Icons series continues with a look at Georgia O'Keeffe and her paintings of animal skulls.

#2859: The East Is ReadHear music based on Chinese stories for this edition of New Sounds. Listen to the latest from Damon Albarn (yes, he of Gorillaz, Blur, as well as The Good the Bad and the Queen) - "Monkey: Journey to the West." Albarn wrote this opera based on the Tang Dynasty manuscript about Monkey, who crashes heaven demanding a longer lease on life after having discovered that he is a mere mortal. He calls for traditional Chinese percussion instruments, an Ondes Martenot, and a blaring contraption of his own invention known as a Klaxophone!
